Utah State University Offers Free Writing Courses
Choosing freelance writing as your career path may have been a difficult decision. While it’s certainly possible to become a successful freelance writer without any formal education in the area of writing it definitely won’t hurt to get a class or two under your belt. Fortunately there are a few places online that allow writers to take advantage of free classes. One such place is Utah State University.
Utah State University currently offers three free courses through what is known as their OpenCourseWare program. They courses are offered online, allow you the opportunity to study at your own pace, and are free. You don’t even have to register in advance before beginning.
Intro to Writing: Academic Prose
The Intro to Writing: Academic Prose course was designed for students who were originally supposed to attend classes up to three times per week. You can download this course in its entirety and work at your own pace. You won’t be graded or earn credits, but you’ll have the opportunity to work through the course in much the same way as a university student would, picking up new skills along the way.
